Discipline that Disciples

The goal of discipline in our Christian classrooms must be to help parents train children to be Christ-like. We want kids to internalize the biblical principles we teach and to grow in their personal relationships with God. Discipline is an ongoing process in which parent and teacher control gradually gives way to Christian self-control, that is God-control.

Our program includes:

  • Emphasis on positive recognition of appropriate behavior
  • Underlying attitude of Christ-like love for each other.

We use the S.M.I.L.E. approach to classroom discipline:

  • Speak positively! We strive that our words should always be positive.
  • Minimize Conflict! We maintain warm and loving environments. We trust in God’s Word, and we seek His help through prayer with and for the children.
  • Identify and acknowledge each child’s needs.
  • Laughter. Laughter is a powerful tool when dealing with children. We keep it handy, generous and ready at all times.
  • Encouragement. We encourage, encourage, encourage…we look for every opportunity for learning and becoming more like Christ.
